I'm needing a kick in the pants. I just need to believe in myself. Found this song and love it.

Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

She did not think herself a genius by any means, but when the writing fit came on, she gave herself up to it with entire abandon, and led a blissful life, unconscious of want, care, or bad weather, while she sat safe and happy in an imaginary world full of friends almost as real and dear to her as any in the flesh. Sleep forsook her eyes, meals stood untasted, day and night were all too short to enjoy the happiness which blessed her only at such times, and made these hours worth living, even if they bore no other fruit.

Prince Triturus

"Sean looked at the water to see Norm’s rescuer. A human shaped head with a fin ridge from the forehead back to the base of its skull bobbed in the water. Gill slits ran three deep along its jaw line, the ears were a crescent hole with a small fin fanning back. The slick green skin was mottled at the neck and shoulders around a bright white at the throat and across the chest. The square jaw line and muscular shoulders testified of its great strength." Heir Apparent, Chapter 17 by Julie Blankenship. Art work by Dallin Blankenship
